Overall Review: I was in the market for an ultrawide monitor for a longtime, and did purchase with another brand. However, due to some QC problems, had to return and began my hunt again. I had MSI monitors before and they have never let me down in terms of quality and durability (3 monitors that survived 3 moves and a little knocking around, they're still going flawlessly), so when I heard MSI was releasing a new lineup with a 49", I was already sold, it was just a matter of getting another one when it was available. For the price, alone, I am blown away from picture quality; so much that I decided to buy a second one! I think it's comparable with its competitors, but has the edge given the base pricing (not to mention more dedicated experience in the gaming space versus others). The automatic pixel refresh, though, is kind of a nuisance displaying every 4 hours; you can cancel/postpone that option, but it does seem a little finicky on the settings actually applying. Outside of the constant OLED pixel protect page, no major critiques as it stands now really! There's a lot to this monitor I've yet to explore with, but I am excited to try it out to its full potential. As of now, we're sitting at a 5/5 for rating solely for the base pricing, this gives this monitor some edge for those wanting to upgrade into the ultrawide monitors as well as OLED. Only time will truly tell how well this monitor will hold up, but the monitor sold me enough to buy a second one!
